The Gopher Pest.

II Gov. Church could tear himself away
from the politicians for few weeks and make
a tour among his rural subjects, it is not likely
that lie would veto the next gopher-bounty
bill. The fact cannot be disguised that some
means must be found for general warfare
throughout the territory against the little pest.
An occasional dose Of poison and few shot
guns will not do it. There is enough grain
destroyed by gophers each season to pay, three
times over, the sum necessary for paying boun-
ties for year. The gopher scourge is rapidly
growing worse, as the wild animals which
prey on the tiny burrowers disappear; and,
unless some sort of a gopher blackleg or pleuro-
pneumonia overwhelms the pest it is likely
that by the time the next session convenes
there will he less hilarity over measures for
their destruction. The farmers during the
next canvass should also be ''funny," and 60
into the fight with the picture Of defunct
grain-thief on their banner. Then, should a
statesman prove false, instead Of the usual
ancent-egg reception on his return home.

Struck 1t Rich.

ST. LOUIS, April PA special dispatch
from the City Of Mexico announces the dis
covery Of two Of the seven Mexican bonanza
mines by an American party Of prospectors.
Humbled and Hamilton speak Of the fabulous
wealth obtained from those mines by Span
iards. They were worked up to the middle Of
the last century. In 1855 the Indians swept
ever Northern Mexico and destroyed Chhau-
hau, and all the miners were driven out. The
Indians held control Of the country 80 long
that all records were lost Recently Lieut.
Ripper, formerly Of the United States army;
W. X. Glenn, Of Illinois; Capt Allen and J.
Mcintyre, Of Chicago went out Oh a surveying
expedition in the interest of tho Sonora land
company, and in an old chapel FOUND maps
and other data. Dividing into four small par
ties thorough search was began, and McIn-
tyres party located what is believed to be the
'Layoha." 1t is in the midst OF thousands of
ruined buildings among large churches and
forts. Within radius Of four miles are APO
workings, old Spanish furnaces and tons Of
s1ag. A few days later the Bowers party re-
ported the discovery OF the Quaynoha in the
heart of the Sierra Madre mountains Around
it are the ruins Of lis rastoras.

The Hope Extension.

All the indications now point to the early ex-
tension of the Hope branch to Rugby Junction,
and its becoming the main line Of the Manitoba
to Great Falls and Helena, Montana. Wo
do not anticipate from this extension any
''boom' to Hope or to this section, but we do
expect from it very material results both to
our town and country. That portion of the
trade which now comes to us from the north
west, both in grain that is marketed and sup
plies sold, will be cut off by the erection of
new elevators aud the opening of stores at the
new stations which will be opened, is inevita-
BILE. But the increased facilities which we
will enjoy by being on the shortest aud most
direct line of system that will ultimately
reach the Pacific, will compensate us thou
sand fold for such Insignificant loss. The open
ing of this new line must bring us to the notice
of thousands from the East who are seek
ing homes in the Northwest, and create de-
mand for our lands which will necessarily re-
suit in enhancing their value. 1t can be but a
short time before the public lands will be all
entered; but the demand will continue as
urgent as heretofore. Tho result will naturally
be that those sections possessing the greatest
natural advantages will be the first and most
eagerly sought. This must tend greatly to our
benefit. Hope being the largest and best town,
with the single exception Of Casselton, on the
Manitoba line between hero and Wahpeton,
aud the only town in an area Of thirty miles,
surrounded by farming community CON-
posed largely Of New England, Illinois, Ind-
ana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa people, all
noted for their thrift, refinement and educa-
ton, will at once attract those who are look
ing for a location where they can enjoy the
advantages Of churches, schools and good So
ciety.
Another advantage in our favor is that Hope
has not like agreat many Northwestern towns,
been pushed way beyond the present needs Of
the country on which it is dependent for sup
port will quickly feel the stimulus of new
blood, and rapidly develop. It needs no prophet
to predict that within a few years Dakota will
be as donsely populated as Ohio or Illinois, and
population means town and cities, and we can
see no reason why, with her present start, and
the addition from time to time OF such facili-
ties rs growth shall Determine, Hope may moi
look forward to becoming, in the near future
a commercial point for supplying section sc
large as to entitle it 10 high rank among the
cities and towns of Dakota. With the build
ing Of a first-class -four mill this summer viii
be added another link in the chain of com
mercial necessities which is to ultimately make
Hope tho Queen of the Prairie. Fortunatel!
all the dissensions which in the past retarded
the progress Of the town have been eliminated
and all stand ready to pull together for tht
common good.

Have Lost Their All.

PIERRE, April ga detachment Of soldiers
from the Winnebago reservation passed
through the city this morning on their way to
Fort Sully to get supply of rations. The
troops are still at Big Bend and will remain on
the reservation month to watch the settlers
and see that none Of them get back to their
claims. They have had no serious trouble
with the settlers SO far. They are given three
days notice to move and at the end OF that
time If still on the ground the soldiers take
possession and move their effects off. One old
lady, Mrs. Catharine Ryan, having no way OF
moving, was hustled into wagon with her
household goods and taken to Rousseau and
left their this morning. The officer In CON-
mand Of the detachment was not prerared to
say whether all the settlers would have to 90
or not, but was under the impression that they
would, rs the government was making an OK
ample Of them. The eviction OF these settlers
will cause them untold hardsbips, as very few
Of them have money and were depending en-
trely on their crops.

What True Merit Will DO.

The unprecedented sale Of Boschee's German
syrup within few years, has astonished the
world. 1t Is without doubt the safest and best
remedy ever discovered for the speedy and
effectual cure of coughs, colds and the ssverest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions given by
physicians, as it does not dry up cough and
leave the disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leavs them in purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the house
for use when the diseases make their appear
ance, will save doctors bills and long spell Of
serious illness. A trial will convince you Of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all druggists
and general dealers in the land. Price, Is cts.,
large bottles.

There was lively runaway in town "a,

There was lively runaway in town early
last Monday morning. J. B. Bistline had driven
up in front Of Wamberg & Jacobson's and
gone into the store to procure some goods,
leaving his son Sam and Edison Lane in the
wagon. The neck-yoke slipped down and
scared the horses, and away they went, turn
ing the corner into Steele avenue. Sam tried
to stop the horses, but falling, jumped out,
but Edison Lane hung on. When just west of
the Hope House the pole struck the ground
and broke, the front wheels became detached,
and the horses ran up in the rear Of the livery
barn, where they were capturen, one of them
being badly injured in one of his legs. For
tunately neither Of the occupants Of the wagon
was hurt, and but little damage done to the
wagon, and Mr.. Bistline was soon on his way
to the farm, thankful things were no worse.
